Hey kids!
Haven't got time for a full-fledged post today...gotta head off to work...got up a little late today...anywhoos, that's not to say there isn't time for a Verse of the Day, so here it goes.

Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

One of the best parts of having a girlfriend, or a close friend for that matter, is having someone to keep you accountable on the things you find tough. For me, memorizing verses from the Bible is tough. But it's something I really want to do...seeing some of the quiz meets lately has really encouraged me and showed me how important it is...so anyways, Liane and I came up with our favorite 20 verses, and we're gonna start with that. Today's verse happens to be one of my favorites. The Benjamin Gate use it as a rap at the end of a song, and it's been stuck in my head many times since then. It's soo much easier to remember if you can stick a tune to it!

Anywhoos, hope y'all have a wonderful day!

Lyric of the Day

Howdy Doody!
Today's Lyric of the Day comes to us from my most favorite of rock and roll bands: Bleach. It's the song entitled "Found You Out" from the CD "Again, For The First Time", and it's going out to Liane :)

"Ain't it great not a moment too late
And I've been waiting for this all my life
Ain't it swell like a sweet southern belle
And I can finally see why I'm alive

When you, you hold me close
It all makes sense, it's greatness

I'd wait a million years to feel
The way that I feel right now
I can't say that it's figured out
But everything will work out some how
'Cause I think I found you out

Ain't it great not a moment to late
That worry left and hope arrived
Ain't if fine like sweet summer time
And oh it's good to be alive

When you, you hold me close
It all makes sense, it's greatness

I'd wait a million years to feel
The way that I feel right now
I can't say that it's figured out
But everything will work out some how
'Cause I think I found you out"

This song rocks. It's the kind of song you sing along to at the top of your lungs driving down the highway on a beautiful summer day with the windows down, the stereo crazy loud. Mind you, nearly every Bleach song is good for such an occasion. This one just happens to be a great love song too.

Today

Boy, I like coming up with titles for these posts about as much as I like coming up with subject lines for emails or drinking sour milk.
I need a hair cut. Is that one word? 'Cause as two words it looks like I need only one hair cut. Which scares me 'cause I've noticed as of late that things are starting to look a tad thin up front. The front lines are retreating! Maybe I should let it grow so it gives a comb-over sort of effect. If only I could grow some sexy wavy hair, or a nice afro. Nope, deathly straight is all I get. Couldn't even cut a good mullet. Oh well. I wonder if anyone has had the same style of haircut for their entire life? That would be crazy. I'm well on my way...I think I had my first brush cut in the spring of my grade 9 year...let's see...that would have been spring of '96...that's almost ten years! Hokee dina! Okay, enough about the hair.

So my Heatha bought Napoleon Dynamite for me today. What a ridiculously stupid movie. Yesss!

So I'm trying to think of some good places for a vacation this year. I want to go on a backpacking trip somewhere. I saw this awesome site for two week guided trips in the NWT, but they're crazy expensive...the cheapest one was $2400. It looked totally beautiful though...mountains, rivers, lakes, trees, tundra, amazingly huge skies. Yup.

"Wish I could freeze this feeling / photograph this state of mind"

The music is going, and I'll be singing along as I write this stuff, without really thinking about what I'm singing, but every time this song comes on, that line sticks out like crazy. It a great song, and I just love that line. Somebody's gotta invent a state-of-mind-camera. I bet it'd be really expensive though. I might need a part time job.

Anywhoos. Today was really cold. Somebody told me I should check myself in and have my head examined...just 'cause I ride my bike in this deep freeze. I keep telling every one that it's actually warmer than walking to and from your car, or sitting in a cold car, but no one believes me. Given you need the right clothes, but we're not talking anything fancy. And you need a decent bike, but again, nothing fancy. And it FEELS so much better. I love Mr. Lumgair's sign at Shannon Dale "fresh air is heath care" "help your self". How awesome is that?

Alas, I have become fatigued once again and shall retire to my bedroom. Hope you all have a wonderful night...or day. Cya.
